Trauma Informed Practice

Over two days the training will support in building confidence to develop, deliver, and resource projects both with a focus on trauma informed practice and working with audiences impacted by trauma.

Through interactive content, models and collaborative conversations, the training aims to provide participants with relevant and helpful tools to support specific organisational practices and approaches.

Day 1 will focus on personal practice. Training will explore what trauma is, how museums and galleries may be relevant to trauma and begin to look at tools and approaches to support individuals, colleagues, artists and external participants.

Day 2 will focus on building confidence to design, deliver, and support trauma informed projects within a setting or target audience. Through case studies and group discussion, the training will develop skills for assessing risk, considering audiences, and developing restorative team-work.
